Superfamily Decaprenyl diphosphate synthase-like
Functional Family (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate-specific ditrans,polycis-undecaprenyl-diphosphate synthase

Enzyme Information

2.5.1.31
Ditrans,polycis-undecaprenyl-diphosphate synthase ((2E,6E)-farnesyl- diphosphate specific).
based on mapping to UniProt P60472
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + 8 isopentenyl diphosphate = 8 diphosphate + di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl diphosphate.
-!- Undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase catalyzes the consecutive condensation reactions of a farnesyl diphosphate with eight isopentenyl diphosphates, in which new cis-double bonds are formed, to generate undecaprenyl diphosphate that serves as a lipid carrier for peptidoglycan synthesis of bacterial cell wall.
